 # Rojo Changelog
 
 ## [Unreleased]
+* Upgraded significant dependencies:
+    * rbx_dom_weak 1.6.0
+        * `Content` properties can now be specified in projects and model files as strings
+        * Added support for `BrickColor`, but with no handy conversions yet
+    * rbx_reflection 3.0.384
+        * Updated reflection database to client release 384
+        * Adds support for new enum variants like `Lighting.Technology` as `"ShadowMap"`
+    * rbx_xml 0.7.0
+        * Performance improvements dealing with model/place files due to smaller error type
+        * Fixed serializing empty `Content` properties
+        * Improved content compatibility utilizing the reflection database
 * Added support for implicit property values in JSON model files ([#154](https://github.com/LPGhatguy/rojo/pull/154))
